Sunderland boss Steve Bruce is boosted by the return of key men Phil Bardsley and Nicklas Bendtner for Saturday's Barclays Premier League trip to Bolton.
Full-back Bardsley has completed his four-match ban, while loan signing Bendtner was ineligible to play against parent club Arsenal last weekend.
